Michael Moore Can Eat A Bag Of 'Em

Congratulations everyone!! This country has truly changed, and I believe there will be no going back. Hate lost today. That is amazing in and of itself. And all the women who were elected tonight! A total rebuke of neanderthal attitudes.

Now the real work begins. Millions of us must come together to insist that President Obama and the Democrats stand up and fight and, if the House doesn't want to play ball, do a massive end run around them. Likewise, we have to have Obama's back. As he is blocked and attacked by the Right, we need to be there with him. We are the majority. Let's act like it.

And please Mr. President, make the banks and Wall Street pay. You're the boss, not them. Lead the fight to get money out of politics - the spending on this election is shameful and dangerous. Don't wait til 2014 to bring the troops home - bring 'em home now. Stop the drone strikes on civilians. End the senseless war on drugs. Act like a mother***** when it comes to climate change - ignore the nuts and fix this now. Take the profit motive out of things that any civilized country would say, "this is for the common good." Make higher educational affordable for everyone and don't send 22-year olds out into the world already in debt. Order a moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions. There are ways to create good-paying jobs - I have some ideas, if you've got a minute. Make your second term historical!

Finally thanks to the Occupy movement who, a year ago, set the tone of this election heart with "the 1% vs. everybody else" - and inspired Obama and his campaign to realize that there was huge popular sentiment against what the wealthy have done. And that led to Romney's "47%" remarks which was the beginning of the end of his campaign. Thank you Mother Jones for releasing that secret tape and thank you to the minimum wage worker who did the secret taping. Thank you Sandra Fluke for enduing the insults hurled at you and becoming an important grass-roots leader. Thank you Todd Aikin for... well, for just being you. Thank you CEOs of Chrysler and GM for coming out forcefully against a Republican candidate, saying he lived in "an alternate universe" when he lied about Jeep. Thank you for Governor Cristie for being the final nail in the coffin.

And thank you Mother Nature, in all your horrific damage you caused last week, you became, ironically, the undoing of a Party that didn't believe in you or your climate changing powers.

Perhaps they'll believe now.

I really don't give a rat's ass about the rest of the piece. We were screwed, IMO, whichever party won the election. But voicing approval for the political consequences of a natural disaster while people are still mourning their loved ones, and others are living in shelters?

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I am so proud of the country. To reelect this president and overcoming -- not because of the partisanship or even the policies. Here's an African-American guy with an unusual background -- part immigrant background, part African-American background -- with all this assault on him from day one. From Mitch McConnell, from the clowns out there that will never be elected, never will be to anything.

And the way he took it, as someone said, with coolness and charm and dignity and took it and took it and kept moving forward and doing his job. And the American people, and I know we look at these percentage, 40% of white vote. Fine. That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles, three cycles or four. Good work for them. Good work for him. A good day for America.

I'm so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.

Chris gave a humble, sincere apology for that BTW, and not because of pressure to. He realized his own error. That has to be noted as well.
Moore, however, is never apologetic. That makes him just as much a douche as the people he opposes.

But can we be real and understand what they both really meant and what we all know because we have seen it?...and that is that it always seems to take a major event that affects us, usually quite bad, to make us drop our ridiculous guard and work together for the common good. For a few moments there is no party, no religion, no race, no social classes. We are just human beings trying to survive together on Lifeboat Earth.
It is just unfortunate that it takes events like giant storms or terror attacks to do this.
Thats what these guys mean no matter how poorly articulated.

Maybe it just means that once the world is in a constant state of catastrophy, humans will live in a world free from wars and conflict. We will be too busy collectively surviving. Comforting thought...?

I don't think Chris Matthews is a "bad" person. He's a blowhard, and steps over the line sometimes, so in his case, I'll agree with you.

MM, I'm not sure about...and in his case, this wasn't an off the cuff spoken remark. It was written. He had time to think about it. He's an insensitive, self-important prick, and I'm not going to assume that he meant as you suggest.

I agree. I wasn't implying that the way MM said it was excusable and he is a Cock Chokeula for failing to apologize. I was just asking that we all agree about the acutal point of their stupid remarks. I'm on YOUR side!
